Rossi E-Cat SK Demo Discussion

People here have noted that Rossi's demonstrations have been progressively less believable. This one takes the cake, prerecorded with no witnesses. It is almost as if he is trying make himself look like a scammer . . . Maybe he is! A famous research paper from Microsoft may explain why. Perhaps he is targeting stupid, gullible people who know nothing about his past, so he sets up a demo that will exclude anyone with common sense. See:

Why Do Nigerian Scammers Say They are From Nigeria?

False positives cause many promising detection technologies to be unworkable in practice. Attackers, we show, face this problem too. In deciding who to attack true positives are targets successfully attacked, while false positives are those that are attacked but yield nothing. . . .

I thought no one could tell I am not overly optimistic, yet you saw through it. Compared to one year ago, when I had absolutely no hope for the man, at least I have a little now...so I am getting better. What Russ, with much help from Alan, Martin and now Wytennbach, have accomplished is Rossi inspired, so that has been a factor in improving my outlook. Then what I learned through the grapevine, after becoming a Mod has been eye opener also.

Still though, weighed against his prior shenanigans, the odds of his having what he claims are slim. Even giving him the large benefit of the doubt and assuming he has something, the way he is going about this simply invites smart aleck babbling.

Okay, let's fantasize a minute what could happen in a few hours. Camera pans out (one of the seven angles) and there is the ocean. Panning back in there is a hose leading to a desalination device pumping clean fresh water to the children Rossi vowed to save. He is surrounded by dignitaries including Bill Gates and George Clooney, saving the world from catastrophe. All the while showing his robotic factory pumping out ecats for industrialisation. Meanwhile the imbecile pathoskeptics wither and die from their foolishness and lack of sex.

I think today is the day of decision for Rossi, if he does not deliver now a more than convincing presentation, a functioning, marketable product that produces 27KW/h, which is already in use with a paying customer (as he claims) , then his story is completely burned.

I don't think that today is a day of decision. The way Mr Rossi has structured this thing there are no criteria for success or failure that will be made available today. He has said explicitly that this is not a test or even a demonstration and he has created no expectation that the customer will be revealed today. There is nothing that we will know tomorrow that we don't know right this instant (about 1 hour prior to the Jan 31 event).

So when is the crucial moment? 6 months from now? A year from now? What will it look like?
